A Chapter about Trees.
Under the above heading a correspon.
dent of the Massachusetts Ploughman
furnishes the following sensible article:
As upon other rural matters, so upon
this, a great deal has been written and a
great deal more remains which may be
written. The culture of trees has its own
times, modes of operating subjects to be
acted upon, and results to be obtained.
1. THE TIME.-All hardy Trees, fruit
or ornamental, may be successfully trans
planted at any season in the year, when
the three following circumstances concur,
namely: the Tree in a dormant state, the
ground free from frost and excessive *moi
sture, the weather above freezing tempe
rature.
Trees of the evergreen tribes, however,
become so clmpletely dormant, or in a
state of repose, for two or three weeks
about the time of the summer solstice, that
they are often successfully transplanted
at that season.
The very best combination of circum
stances is that of the tree perfectly dor
nant, the ground warm and tractable,
the weather mild and cloudy, with a pros
pect of rain. When a week of rainy
weather immediately follows the planting
of a tree success is almost certain to ensue.
2d. THE CITE OF A TREE.-AS in
building a house, so in planting a tree, a
foundation must be laid for it. For all
kinds of trees, deep tillage is the first
thing, and the second thing, and the third
thing, and all of these things combined.
For a tree five to ten or twelve feet
high, dig a hole one and a half to two and
a half feet deep; four feet in diameter
will barely answer, but six or eight feet is
a great deal better. If the ground in the
bottom of the hole is hard, loosen it with
a pickaxe, five or more inches deeper, then
fill it up with the soil, a little of the sub
soil and rich well rotten compost manure,
intimately mixing the three together.
3d. PREPARING TuE TREE.-Pare the
broken ends of the roots smoothly, al. i
ways entering the knife upon the under
side, and cutting with an upward slant.
Shorten in top also, if the root is weak so
that there may be a balance of power be
tween root and branch.
4th. PLANTING THE TREE.-The tree
should stand at the same depth in the
ground that it grew previously to its re
inoval. Deep planting, as an Irish gar
dener expresses it is murder entirely.
Let one man hold the tree, and another
get on his knees and work with his fingers
among the roots, straightening them out
and filling up all the hollow places among
them with generous rich soil, until the hole
is completely full. Then press the ground,
gently but firmly around the tree with the
foot, and the work is done. If the soil
is very dry, two or three buckets of water
may be slowly peured into the hole just
as soon as the roots are wvell covered, and
before the hole is completely filled. Gene
rally, however, this is unnecessary, ex
cept perhaps for evergreen trees.
5th. AFTER TREATMlENT.--t is an eX
thefistseaonaferplanting them. This
is nothing more than covering the ground,
for three or four feet around them, with a
depth of two or three inches of strawv,
leaves, seaweed, or the like, carefully pla
cing stones or sods upon the top so that
the mulching may not be blown away.
Trees in any way exposed to the wind
ought to be staked and tied the first sea
son if no longer.
Still further, all kinds of fruit trees, and
generally all cultivated trees, require more
or less care and attention as long as they
live; and like domestic animals, they be
come miserable and worthless by neglect.
It is, therefore, of little use to plant trees
unless one means to take care of them.
A tree that has been set some years,
and is not in a thrifty condition may be
greatly benefitted by digging a circular
ditch around it about two feet wide and
twvo feet deep, and at a distance of about
as many feet from the tree as the latter is
inches in diameter. The roots should all
be cut off smoothly, even with the inner
side of the ditch, which should then be
filled up with good ri soil, intermixed
with well rotted compost manure, ashes,
charcoal dust, or old broken bones. Old
trees thus treated often renew their youth,
and show their gratitude, for years to
come, in the substantial form of bushels
of lucious fruit, alwvays excepting the
peach and nectarine, which should never,
in this climate, be suffered to stand longer
than eight or ten years from the seed. A
few peach trees should be set every year
to keep up a supply of this delicious fruit.
To CLEAN PAPERED WALLs.--The
very best method is to rub them with stale
bread. Cut the crust off very thick, and
wipe straight down from the top, then go
to the top again, and so on. The staler
the bread the better.
GRowTH OF HArR INcREASED, AND
BALDNEsS PREvENTED.-Take 4 ounCes
of castor oil, 8 do. good Jamaica rum,
30 drops oil of lavender, or 10 do. oil of
rose, anioint occasionally the head, shak
ing well the bottle previously.
CURE FOR CoLIC.--Take a pint of
strong vinegar, a pint of lard, a gill of
table salt, and one ounce of copperas,
dissolve in a skillet over a fire, and then
drench your horse with the mixture.
These remedies have been adopted in
Indiana and Kentucky, and have proved
to be a perfect cure.
Cow SHEDs.-If you have not already
provided your cattle with cowv sheds, do
so without farther delay-humanity to
the beasts, as well as interest to yourself,
call out for their erection.-American
Farmer.
OrrEN breaking up ausurface keeps a
soil in health--for when it lies in a hard
bound state enriching showers run off,
and the salubrious air cannot enter.
As von sow, you muszt rerap,
B it GARDEN GATE.
Stand back, bewildering politics,
I've placed my fences round;
Pass on, with all your party tricks,
Nor tread my boly ground.
Stand back-I'm weary of your talk,
Your squabbles, and your prate;
You cannot enter in this walk,
I've closed my garden gate.
Stand back, ye thoughts of trade and pelf
I have a refuge here ;
I wish to commune with myself;
My mind is out of gear.
These bowers are sacred to the page
Of philosophiclore:
Within these bounds no envies rage;
I've shut my garden door.
Stand back, Frivolty and Show,
It is a day of spring;
I want to see my roses blow,
And hear the blackbird sing;
I wish to prune my apple-trees,
And make my peaches straight
Keep to the causeway, if you Ilease
I've shut my garden gate.
I have no room for such as you,
My house is somewhat small,
Let love come here, and friendship true,
I'll gave them welcome all;
They will not scorn my household stuff,
Or criticise my store,
Pass on-the world is wide enough ;
I've shut my garden door.
Stand back, ye pomps, and let ine wear
The liberty I feel,
I have a coat at elbows bare;
I love its dishabille.
Within these precints let ine rove,
With nature free from state;
There is no tinsel in the grove ;
I've shut ay garden gate.
What boots continual glare and strife
I cannot always climb;
I would not struggle all my life
I need a breathing time.
Pass on-I've sanctified these grounds
To friendship, love and lore;
You cannot coane within these bouuds,
I've shut any garden door.

Tho Patent Rag Chewer.
In a village not a hundred iles from
lis place, there is established a papermill,
which attracts no small share of attention
rom the curious, and elicits many a visit,
is all are of course anxious to see the pro.
-ess of converting old rags into paper. It
iometimes happens that those crowds of
Wimirers of the marvellous, contain among
their numbers some of those real matter of
that kind of fellows who like something
' cause as well as effect, which may be
Ilustrated by the following dialogue
"I say, stranger, how do you get 'em
re rags fine enough to make paper !"
" We have mnen employed to chew them,
ti," replied the paper manm.
" To wvhat! to chew them did you say ?"
"Yes, to chew them to be sure--did you
ver hear of chewing rags to make pa
r?"{
ow wvhat wvages you give, 'case I've
>t a little the best set of teeth you ever
d see," said the green 'un, grinning,
;nshing at the same time, in a way of
:hibition, wvitha a fury that made the jest
g proprietor quake least the joke should
trn upon him,
"I see, I see," replied lie of the paper*
ill, ste ppitng back ; " I never saw a better
t of teeth for business. Well we give
eperienced hands S1 50 per day, and the
new beginners wve give Si-do you think
yu would like the business, sir ?"
"Yes sir-ree, and the wages too !" re
lied tho other with (lelighit.
"Very w~ell, sir, you my set in now for
amnonth, and at the expiration of that no
oubt I will ratise your wages. Here you
ay commence on this"-handing a sad
le blanket to his much delighted appli
ant who took it, anad set downa to his task
ith as much sang froid as an epicure to
awevll roasted piece of beef.
"I say, old pard, do you think that 'ar
lanket 'will stand ite anay of mny time at
all? Why, I could chew it nll to smash
p and swvallowv it before you could tell
te what time the sun sets by Elton's Al
manae."
Hec set to work like a juvenile steam en
glne, hi evy teeth grinding as if they
~vere milstones, the dust fliving, but des
erately intent on earning good living wa
es, though the labor was exceedingly batd
ving. With the velocity of a Bengal ti
er, and spirit wvorthy of a better cause,
he martyr of the progress of science con
inued his task, wonderinag beyond expres
ion, in his own mind how nanny hands,
r rather how matny setts of teeth, it took
o do the chewing for that "tarnation big
ill." But it was in vain that the heavy
aws wagged, and the sharp teeth crushed,
he pile of chewved rags (did not seem to
row very fast and to add to the nachinaes
felings of rising indignation, a crowd be
an to gather around to witness the sin
ular spectacle of a human opposi:ion to
he rag breakers, sliaking the wvhole build
ng from another apartment.
" What in tarnation are you gapin' at ?"
t last exclaimed the rag chewer throught
a mouthful of rags in a state of mastica
ion-" Drat ye, thar is fifty rag splittint'
achines like me up stairs, all in a bunch
-why don't you go up and see them?"'
The crowvd looked very much delighted
ad expressed themselves very highly
pleased with his performance.
"I know I can.'t go it like thenm fellows
up stairs, for my grinders ain't used to it
yet, besides I don't believe horse blankets
is good to start on, but I tell you stranger,
when it comes to vittels or to baken, I am
thar."
The fun began to rise, and with it the
rag chewers indignation. " See here,
stranger," he bellowed, spitting out his last
attempt, and hallowed to his employer,
who had just appeared-" blamed to
blamed nation, if i'm goin' to sit here to
be laughed at in this ere way-i-f you
don't put me up stairs among the rest of
'em, I won't chew up anothcr blanket,
darned if I do !"
What!" exclaimed the -employer 'vitt
a sober face, and very indignantly, " is
that all you've got chewed lup ? And wet
too, why man! Get out of this-you'l
never do for this business in the world.
There's a blanket ruined to all eternity, too
for you've wet every mouthful, and how
can we make dry paper out of wet rags l
Come, move yourself in a hurry."
The victim did not wait a second invi
tion, but Went off in all speed, for fear he
should be called upon to pay for tl '>an
ket, fully determined hereafter to stick tc
his lawful business, and let ' darned' paper
mills alone.
Love in a Eophead.
An English traveller, after describing
the fete given at Paris, in honor of the last
peace with Great Britain, concludes with
the following anecdote:
" A lusty Frenchman, who from his head
dress, a la Titus I shall distinguish by that
name-escorting a lady, whom, on ac
count of her beautiful hair, I shall style
Berenice-stood on one of the hindmost
benches. I'he belle, habited in a tunic a
/a Grecquc, with a species of sandal which
displayed the elegant form of her leg,
wasunfortunately notofstature sufficiently
commanding to see over the people's
heads. It was to no purpose that the gen
tlemian called out "a bas les chapeaux,'
when the hats were off, the lady still saw
no better.
" What will not gallantry suggest to a
man of fashionable education ? Our con.
iderate youth perceived at no great dis
tance, some persons elevated on a plank,
spported by a couple of casks. Cornfi
ding the lovely Berenice to my care, lie
anished-but almost in an instant lie re.
appeared, followed by two men bearing an
empty hogshead, which it seems he pro
cued from the tavern at the west entrance
of the Tuilleries.
" To place the cask near the feet of the
lady, pay for it, and fix her on it, was the
business of a moment.
" Here then she was, like a statute on
its pedestal, enjoying the double gratifica
tion of seeing and being seen. But, for
enjoyment to be complete, we must share
it with those we love. On examining the
space where she stood, the lady saw there
was room for two, and accordingly invi
td the gentleman to place himself beside
her. In vain lie resisted her entreaties;
in vain lie feared to incommode her. She
commanded; he could not de less than
obey. Stepping up on the bench, he
thence with characteristic agility, sprang
upon the cask.
" But oh! fatal catastrophe! while by
the light of neighpoi ing clusters of lamps,
every one was admiring the mutual atten
tion of this sympathising pair, in went the
head of the hogshead! Our till then en
vied couple fell suddenly up to the middle
of the leg in wine lees left in the cask, by
hich they were bespattered up to their
ery eyes. Nor wvas this all; being too
ager to extricate themselves they over set
he cask, and came to groun~d rolling in it
ad its offensive contents.
" It wvould be no easy matter to pic
ure the ludier-oni situation of Cit'r" Tj
us and Madam Bernice. This being the
nly burst of laughter seized the surround
ig spectators, in which [ took so consid
rable share, that 1 could niot afford any
ssistance towards their enlargement.
AN Ar-r REPLY.-We were amused, a
ew days since, while sitting in a crowd,
n a village not many miles fromi this, to
ear the followitng dialogue, which took
lace between M. D. and a negro, who,
ut a short time previous, had the rmisfor
une to bc one of the doctor's patients. It
seems that the darkey was one of the sev
ral patients in the same family, and among
the first of the sick to recover.
The negro passinig by discovered the
:otor in thte crowvd where we were sit
ting, and tihus saluted him- (at the samn
time placing his wool-beaver carefully un
der his arm.)
"hllow you do, mass doctor?"
"0, very well, whose boy are you?'
replied the doctor.
" Ise the boy you come to see last week
mass doctor."
"0O yes, well, how's all the folks dowr
home ?'
"0O, mass doctor, dey's all about, de
all got well as soon as you quit comin."

" Ji~r does your- mother ever whipyou?'
" No ; but she does a precious sight worse
though."
" What's that ?"
"Whty she washes my face every mor

"Saar," said one little urchin to anothe
yesterday, " Sam, does your schoolnmaste
